The Blue Mountains are named for the delicate azure haze that lingers along the region, which is actually a fine cloud of oil emitted by eucalyptus trees. The mystical mountains are a labyrinth of plateaus, gorges and gum trees. Check out the Katoomba Scenic Railway (the steepest railway in the world), the Jenolan Caves and the Giant Staircase nature walk.

We loved our visit to Dryridge - it was a highlight of our weekend in Blackheath. We were made to feel so welcome, even though the cellar door was super busy, Emma made a great effort to talk to all the guests. The wine is top notch (tastings are free!) the views are sensational and the wine dogs, Gus and George are just adorable! The wine was so good it was impossible to leave empty handed. Too bad we didn't have room for the cheese boards - they looked sensational. Well worth the drive up!

The Sydney Harbour sunrise kayak tour was a very memorable experience. James was a great guide and made sure we all had fun, enjoyed the views and stayed safe. I am a local and have never experienced Sydney like this - Highly recommended!

This is one of the best vantage points for scenic views across Grose Valley, taking in Blue Gum Forest and Govetts Leap in Blue Mountains National Park. There are many signposts to give you guidance which trail to take, their difficulty of grade, length and distance. Birding is quite good here too. Don't forget to bring your camera! Free admission.

The Grand Canyon Loop is just over 6km long, This Grand Canyon Walk was a true bushwalking adventure, with wonderful views, vibrant rainforest, waterfalls, creek crossings, impressive sandstone walls and massive rock overhangs. Whilst it had some very steep sections both climbing down into the ravine and later climbing out, the track itself was very well maintained and had countless stunning views along the way. However the last forty minutes or so climb up the canyon wall to the top edge was very tough going but finally we got to Evans lookout which did not disappoint, wiith breathtaking views across the immense Grose Valley. After a further 30 minutes, we reached our cars for a well earned sit down. Well worth a visit..

Mayfield Garden is open 363 days a year (9:00 AM – 4:30 PM, final entry at 3:00 PM.)
This large (150 acre) private garden is truly amazing. Lots of landscaping and engineering was needed to develop this garden which is still being added to 30 years later. If you love cold climate Old World flowering plants and trees, this is your garden. Take your warm clothing though. I also think it could stand an Alpine Australia garden, since it is currently 100% exotic as far as I saw
